Cathedral of Our Lady of Remedies
Sé Catedral de Luanda (Igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios)
A 17th-century cathedral in Luanda with a white Baroque facade and twin bell towers, located in the heart of the old town.
The Church of Our Lady of the Remedies was begun in 1628 and now serves as the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Luanda. Its white facade and twin bell towers in Portuguese Baroque style stand out among the high-rises of the lower town, and the interior is simple and bright. The old district around it still preserves several colonial-era buildings, and you can walk between it, the National Museum of Anthropology and the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Please keep quiet during Mass and dress appropriately.
